Glitter Bunny
Glitter Bunny This is such a fun statement piece for Easter and it is very simple to create. First I purchased a frame from the dollar store, then spray painted the frame purple. Next, I chose a fun bright polka dot scrapbook paper for the back ground. I cut the scrapbook paper to the size of the frame and glued it to the backing of the frame. Someone had given me these darling white bunny chipboard cut out’s. If you don’t have the chipboard cut out’s like I did then you could easily print off a bunny silhouette on cardstock and hand cut these or use a personal cutting machine…

Easter Glitter Block
Easter Glitter Block For this project I used a scrap block of wood measuring 6″ x 5″. I painted my block a fun lime green color then while it was drying I went online and purchased the Easter design for the block off of the silhouette online store. Silhouette is having a great sale right now. I cut the Easter design out on my Silhouette using a bright bubble gum pink vinyl. Once the paint was dry on my block, I placed the vinyl on my block. For this project I also had the pleasure of working with consumer crafts. They have a wide variety of craft supplies that are…

Framed Chicken Wire Easter Egg
Framed Chicken Wire Easter Egg Originally I saw a an ideas for this chicken wire frame on Studio 5. They had made a heart for Valentines day, and had done it using ribbon. I thought this was a great idea and that an egg shape should be pretty simple to make. I gave it a go using strips of ribbon at first. It turned out horrible!!!! you couldn’t even tell that it was suppose to be an egg and the colored ribbon didn’t go well together. I was totally bummed!!!! Then one day, while I was on a pinterest bindge! this similar idea showed up in my feed.…

Spring Seeds for sale sign
Spring Seeds for sale sign I have been on a sign making binge lately. I have been seeing an assortment of fun signs everywhere and it has made me want to make more signs! I found the idea for this sign on Etsy. I wanted something bright and cheery for Spring so, for my sign I mixed a creamy lemon color with a couple of different paints that I had on hand. I picked out one of my scrap piece hardwood flooring boards to paint. This time I decided to paint on the backside of the flooring board instead of the smooth side. It was rough and had no finish…

Easter Egg Pouch Pillows
Easter Egg Pouch Pillows Avry Found this darling Bunny pillow idea at Willoday. Only we decided to put a twist on this and do an Easter egg instead. It’s such a great idea to make these so you can stuff them full of fun goodies. Plus think of the endless possibilities with fabric selections and embellishments! Easter eggs come in all different patterns and colors now days. I decide to make the pillows in 2 different sizes. I made more of a fancy egg using a standard size throw pillow and then 2 smaller size pillows that I will put in my kids baskets and fill with goodies. Being crafters…

Bunny Silhouette Pillow
Bunny Silhouette Pillow This was a fun little project that was fast and easy. I used the envelope pillow method to make the white base pillow cover, then I found a silhouette of a bunny using a Google image search. I used the trace feature on my silhouette machine to create my Image and then cut out a paper template of the bunny. I pinned the paper template onto my green floral patterned fabric and cut around it. If you have wonder under or fusible webbing you could apply it onto the bunny and iron the bunny onto your pillow and be done with the pillow. However, I didn’t have…

Rise & Shine Spring Décor Board
Rise & Shine Spring Décor Board Years ago I was at a little shop and saw a darling sign. For some reason it has stuck with me. I remembered the little saying it had. After I made the Wicked Chicken sign, I knew this saying would compliment it. From my memory this sign was similar in color to the wicked chicken sign. A deep barn red and very rustic. I could see it in a shabby country kitchen style of décor. Since I have nothing like that in my home and I have been wanting bright spring colors. This little memory of mine is going to get re-vamped in a…

Wicked Chicken Spring D’ecor Sign
Wicked Chicken Spring Décor Sign I was browsing around on Etsy on found this darling sign here. I loved the saying on it! However, it didn’t really match any of my home décor but I knew that I wanted something similar to it. I kept thinking the saying is really a perfect saying for Spring and Easter. I decided to make my own and freshen up the colors for spring. First I grabbed a medium size board from my scrap wood pile. My board is about 12″ by 24″. I painted my board a teal blue color then cut 2 cardstock templates using the silhouette machine. I cut the chicken first…

Easter Egg Mini Platter
Easter Egg Mini Platter I picked up a few of these small ceramic square dishes at Tai Pan for $1.00 they were having their buy one dish get the second free sale so I picked up a few. They were plain white and a perfect blank canvas to do something on! The Egg was found on Google Images and didn’t have a link to the creator. Took the image and used it on the Silhouette to cut. I used a dark pink vinyl and put the end result onto the cute little square dishes!
